Sadowsky....worth the price?

[Steve]

I own a few non-Sadowsky basses with wooden necks that don't have dead spots.

So do I. A pretty expensive Tobias Classic 5...a pretty cheap Toby Pro 5...and a DIRT cheap '82 Fender Squire P that cost me $150 new AND..it came with a 50w practice amp.

I didn't intend to imply that only Sadowsky's are dead spot free.
I was just clarifying an out of context misquote

IMO, everythng is worth the price, if the buyer is willing to pay it. It is the buyer only who pays the instrument and it is up to him/her to think that is it worth it. So, test the bass and evaluate it's price after that.

Just be clear on what a Sadowsky bass is.

In its most common form, a Sadowsky bass is an impeccably built Jazz style bass, made from high quality, resonant tonewoods, loaded with DiMarzo humcancelling pickups and a kick-ass 2 band boost only preamp. It is also a bass where a master builder has gone to the trouble to select highly functional hardware, and to match the components to create a "signature sound" that I've not heard from any other bass. The necks are finished with nitrocellulose, which is very uncommon and feels great. The 5 string basses also have one of the best B string sounds in the business.

Does that sound like what you want? Do you have $2200 you want to spend on a bass? If so, buy a metro. If not, there are lots of other choices out there.

P.S. My Metro has a subtle dead spot that doesn't often bother me at C#. My Lakland skyline does not have any.
